Since 1979, Hoa 'Aina O Makaha has centered its focus on
supporting family, community self-reliance and peace making on the
Wai'anae Coast. "The Farm", as it is known by community
residents, is a place where dreams have become
reality by developing a barren piece of land
into an educational center. Together with the children of our community Hoa
'Aina helps to rediscover Hawaiian culture, love for the
land, and love for each other and the world. Our
programs 
include farming, Hawaiiana, alternative energy, water management, and a Peace
Center to share values and experiences.
